Intellectualise My Blackness lyrics

I hit him with a piece of his philosophy

Anglo-Saxon muck in his type of greed

What did he do to deserve such hate

He tried to intellectualise my blackness

He tried to summarise, to institutionalise

Still I could recognise, he was materialised

He tried to intellectualise my blackness

To make it easier for his whiteness

He tried to intellectualise my blackness, ooh save me

He's always tryin' to make up for his little slips

The joke about the nigga and the yellow nip

Then he tells me "I'm so different from those other shits"

When he tries to intellectualise my blackness

He tried to summarise, to institutionalise

Still I could recognise, he was materialised

He tried to intellectualise my blackness

To make it easier for his whiteness

He tried to intellectualise my blackness, ooh save me

Motherfucker don't you lecture-rise me

Don't you ever try to lecturise me

Motherfucker don't you lecturerise me

Oh No

He tried to intellectualise my blackness

To make it easier for his whiteness

He tried to intellectualise my blackness, ooh save me

He tried to intellectualise my blackness

To make it easier for his whiteness

He tried to intellectualise my blackness, ooh save me

He tried to intellectualise my blackness

To make it easier for his whiteness

He tried to intellectualise my blackness, ooh save me
